Extruder Heater Issue

xtarr

Hi, I am using a 50W 120V extruder heater through a solid state relay on a Duet3 6HC rev3.3. When I go to tune the setup (M303) or set an active temperature through the duet web controller, the extruder does not heat up and I get this fault:

Error: Heater 1 fault: temperature rising much more slowly than the expected 1.8°C/sec

To make sure the solid state relay wiring was right, I plugged in 12V power supply to the control side of the relay and the extruder heated right up, so I feel that my error is somewhere within the configuration. Below is my current configuration file:

Thanks in advanced for your help.

I don't know anything about the Duet 3 board, so I can only tell you to check the wiring.

That the cables are fine
That you have connected it to the correct Heater
That the thermistor is also connected.

If you have a multimeter, you can check if when it should be heated, there is voltage in that Shoket ... and if you don't have it, connect something 24v, such as a fan, if the Duet commands it to heat up, 24v should come out and turn the fan,

@xtarr said in Extruder Heater Issue:

M307 H1 B0 S1.00                             										; disable bang-bang mode for heater  and set PWM limit

You've disabled bang-bang but not set any PID process parameters. Have you set the heater tuning elsewhere?

For a quick check you could substitute B1 back in and see if it heats. Then look at M303 to get the parameters to put in the M307.

Have you done a PID tuning with M303 H0 S60 and then saved the results with M500? You also need to add M501 to the end of config.g to load the saved results.

@xtarr The advise re the PID tune is definately worth looking into for sure.

Thank you everyone for the help! My initial problem was in the wiring. I forgot to add power into out0 in.

Working on PID tuning today so I will get to jump into the rest of the M commands.
